RC Celta de Vigo vs Real Racing Club

Celta Vigo produced their best performance of the season, thrashing Racing Santander 5-0 at Balaídos in a matchday-seven rout watched by 19,505 fans. The win erased any lingering nerves from Celta's midweek Europa League defeat to Omonia, with a second-half substitute turning the game into a procession. Hugo González opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 32nd minute, awarded after VAR review for a handball by Belocian. Moriba doubled the lead before the break, assisted by Miguel Román, who then scored himself in the 68th minute. Pablo Durán, introduced at halftime, sealed the rout with two late goals in the 78th and 93rd minutes, both set up by Hugo Álvarez. For Celta Vigo, it's a much-needed confidence boost after a shaky start to the campaign. Racing Santander, despite enjoying nearly 59% possession, offered little going forward and head into the international break in poor shape, having now conceded twelve goals in their last two matches.
